All,

Once again, the EC2 was discontinued because the metal supplier is no 
longer in business.
To find another vendor is out of the question.  The startup and tooling 
costs would be excessively high for the projected quantities involved.
How many EC2 enclosure could Elecraft sell at a price point of $250 or 
more per unit (my guess, not anything official from Elecraft)?
It was not a high sales volume unit where such startup and tooling costs 
could be swamped out by the sales volumes.

73,
